Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

It was no coincidence that Kalja came to Tobitsia.

After catching the unlucky Ramo, Kalya learned about the situation on the frontal battlefield from Ramo's mouth, and also knew that Demacia had already secured victory at this time.

The Noxians are finished, so next, he should cause some trouble for Jarvan IV.

After all, if Jarvan IV can really control the Noble Council with the power of victory, then Forsbarrow's future development space will be seriously limited, so Kalya wants to take advantage of Lamer and rely on himself to know whether This information about the Winged Sisters drove them out of Demacia.

As a result, after rushing to the battlefield, Kalya only saw that his proud disciple was going crazy, waving a big sword and pressing the Wing Sister Hammer!

Kalya doesn't care about the life or death of the Winged Sisters, but he cares about the life or death of Aatrox!

If Aatrox was allowed to kill, he might go crazy on the spot!

In this case, Kalya could only use Ramo's power to temporarily seal Aatrox and throw him into his own little world through the power of concealment.

In the midst of the wind and sand, Kyle and Morgana took the opportunity to escape. Unfortunately, Kalya no longer had the energy to deal with them.

In a sense, this is the second time Aatrox has fallen into the hands of a demon - but the difference is that the last time he fell was because of his pride, which was purely a matter of Aatrox's own character. .

But this time he failed, it was mainly because Kalya, who controlled Ramo, was both his teacher and his father, and he really knew him too well.

Kalya holds so many secrets about Aatrox that when he controlled Ramo and tried to seal the irrational Aatrox, Aatrox barely resisted, and even made Kalja wonder, "Is he... Recognized me" thought.

This is of course impossible. Because of Kyle, he became more and more excited as he fought. He broke away from the shelter of the black mist, and his head was filled with emptiness for a moment. In this case, even if Kalya stood in front of him, then the big gun in his hand would The sword will not stop at all.

Therefore, after Kalya observed Aatrox for a long time and confirmed that this guy was simply controlled by the power of demons, he directly threw him into the gravel.

……………………

I don't know how long it took, but Aatrox finally woke up.

After regaining consciousness, what appeared in front of him was not the expected corpses strewn in the field, but a familiar yet unfamiliar yellow sand.

Familiar because Aatrox seems to have seen this desert before. Even if the desert looks the same to ordinary people, in Aatrox's eyes, this desert is what he is most familiar with.

And strange because the desert that Aatrox is most familiar with is the long yellow sand where he did simulation training when he was a student.

Um, wait, simulation training?

Aatrox lowered his head, and was surprised to find that although his body was not obscured by the black mist, his consciousness was very clear.

Even though the anger born from seeing the birdman has not completely subsided, he has not lost his mind.

Could it be that this is really a world of simulation training?

Vaguely remembering that he seemed to have heard a familiar voice before, Aatrox couldn't help but feel a little more indescribable anticipation.

The next moment, the wind blew dust and sand.

Without giving Aatrox any buffering time, a figure that made him almost unable to suppress the excitement clearly appeared in front of him in the long yellow sand.

Just like how he commented on himself after countless simulation trainings.

Aatrox stood up straight subconsciously.

However, this time he was greeted not with criticism, but with a greeting.

A very ordinary greeting.

"Long years no see, Aatrox—how are you doing?"

Aatrox stared blankly at Kalya in front of him, at his body made entirely of gravel, at the half-smiling expression on his face, and at the mask that always wore a smile around his waist. , looking at his wings that are no longer shiny.

Kalya is still the same as before, but completely different.

Facing his teacher, Aatrox's mind went blank.

At this moment, he could only open his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

Aatrox didn't know what to say.

In other words, what can he say?

Are you complaining to your teacher like a child, talking about your ups and downs over the years?

Or should he proudly tell this old guy that he has found the underworld and a way to avoid being corroded by the void?

Although he didn't want to admit it, Aatrox had imagined seeing Kalya again countless times.

In those countless imaginations, there was Kalya scolding himself, there was Kalya criticizing himself for stopping lifelong learning, there was Kalya finding a solution to everything, there was Kalya making all the plans, there was Kalya being resurrected. Setaka and Youkarya settled the void...

But he never thought that Kalya would lose all his immortal power and stand in front of him as if he were just an ordinary person, looking up with a smile and asking himself, "How are you these days?"

Kalya just stood there calmly.

It was as if he was no longer the regent, the principal, or the strict teacher, but an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, saying a greeting that ordinary people would say.

"Old man, where is your power of ascension?" Aatrox, who didn't know how to answer this question, could only subconsciously tighten his grip on the sword in his hand. "Did you get defeated by someone else or explode something?"

"I gave up that power." Kalya was still very calm, as if he had lost an old piece of clothing. "After so many years, I am tired, and it's time to take a rest."

"You've rested long enough!" Aatrox was not satisfied with this answer. He raised his voice, and his tone became a little urgent. "For thousands of years, none of us have even a little news about you. ——Even if you are the one you like the most, Azhi doesn’t even know where you have been!”

"That's a coincidence." Kalya nodded, "I actually don't know it very well myself. Sometimes I am awake and sometimes confused. Before I complete this small world, I have been in chaos."

"What now?" Aatrox began to speak faster subconsciously, "You are finally back?"

"Look at you, you never take what I teach you to heart." Kalya shook his head gently, "Do you still remember that time when your butt was poked by a sheep? When you left Nerimajie, you asked me if I could Will come back again, what did I say?”

"..."

Aatrox froze for a moment, then his eyes widened.

"As long as the Nerimaji people are still raising the Pansheep, we will never leave." The corners of Kalya's lips turned up slightly, and she recalled softly, "It is the same now. Although the glory of Shurima has been lost, I will never leave. Didn’t leave.”

"Those two stupid guys Shabek and Shabeka are looking for you." Aatrox had a bad guess in his mind. He didn't want to confirm it, so he simply changed the topic, "Unfortunately, it seems that you prefer the new and dislike the old. A crow with three eyes, not those two silly birds.”

"This is just a coincidence." This was the first time Karya heard about Shabeka and Shabek. "This demon thought he could control me with a contract, but unfortunately, I am not you."

Although he was ridiculed by Kalya in a mild way, Aatrox had a strange feeling of "getting it right" - this was the teacher Kalya he knew!

However, he quickly came to his senses and shook his head quickly.

"So what are you going to do next? Restore Shurima?"

"That is an option, but according to my investigation, it does not seem to be the best choice." Facing Aatrox, Kalya did not hide it, "The legacy of the empire has been consumed by endless internal strife. It’s over, Shurima is no longer the Shurima it once was—it’s you, Aatrox, you seem to be related to the power of death?”

"Ah, just a trivial little trick." Aatrox, who had returned to his "normal conversational rhythm", waved his hand, pretending that these were not worth mentioning, "The void does not infect death, so death is The best way to avoid annoying babble is just thinking about it."

"That's really interesting." Kalya looked very interested after hearing this, "Tell me, after thinking about it, you will know how you, as an immortal, are connected with death. ? You are still an immortal now, and the immortal has almost no way to contact death, whether it is the God of Death or the kingdom of the dead alone."

Obviously, Kalya easily discerned the boastful part in Aatrox's words. Although he did not say it directly, the implication was, "If your magic theory is that bad, no matter what you think of, the follow-up It’s not you who really gets in touch with death.”

Aatrox blinked awkwardly, somewhat speechless.

Even though Aatrox's "simulation training video" almost made Lux fall into self-doubt, Kalya never told Lux ​​that Aatrox's theoretical knowledge can only be described as a mess and scientific. It's extremely serious and can't be compared to the excellent Lux.

(Of course, this is because Kalya is afraid of Lux’s pride.)

And judging by how casually he loses control and is easily captured by the power of the hidden demon, Aatrox seems to have made absolutely no progress in magical theory over the years.

Therefore, the so-called "you will know after just thinking about it" is definitely a blind cat bragging after encountering a dead mouse.

Karya knows this guy too well!

Aatrox spoke several times, trying to find a more tactful way to say it, but facing Kalja's calm, seemingly insightful gaze, he could only spread his hands and tell the truth.

In this small world, Aatrox told Kalya about his past wanderings in detail. The whole process was extremely calm, as if he was telling not his own story, but the suffering of others.

And Kalya just listened quietly, as if what he heard was not the hardships of the students he regarded as his nephew for thousands of years, but the songs of the bards.

When Aatrox finished, Kalya clapped her hands in a rare moment.

"It's wonderful, Aatrox. It seems that there was something wrong with my judgment. You are not without progress." He praised sincerely, "This is really an unimagined path!"

"In the endless time, the weakness and short-sightedness of mortals are common. Blood can inherit power, but it cannot carry all the glory." Aatrox shook his head gently, "And the betrayal of my compatriots was something I never expected. Rebese has become like that, and the Shurima Empire is gradually falling apart, and even Nasus can't stop it..."

Aatrox's voice became lower and lower. This proud dark descendant was silent most of the time. A few times, he maintained a high-frequency bad mouth. He was almost only willing to speak in front of Kalya. express your innermost thoughts.

For him, the displacement in the past was not a pain that was too difficult to accept. On the contrary, it was the destruction of the empire and the betrayal of his compatriots that he could not accept. Coupled with the failure of his rule in Kamavia, Aatrox had gradually Get used to thinking while maintaining your sanity.

But it's a pity that with his character, he can't think of any flowers.

"Glory cannot actually be passed down. The thousand-year glory of the Shurima Empire is actually just a piece of glory that generations of Shurima have earned for themselves over thousands of years." Kalya smiled openly and said, " To be honest, I originally considered asking you to help, but now it seems, Aatrox, you have found your own path - then go ahead and walk on it!"

Aatrox blinked, stunned again.

What Teacher Kalya means is... that he can continue to command the Black Mist Army?

This... this seems to be the first time that Kalya has approved of one of his decisions!

During the Shurima period, although Kalja had always been very optimistic about Aatrox, he only valued Aatrox's combat intuition and frontal combat power. He had always had undisguised hopes for Aatrox's head. of pessimistic cognition.

As a result, now he told Aatrox to stride forward... This undoubtedly made Aatrox feel an indescribable pride and a bit flattered.

"But be careful not to break the curtain between life and death." He quickly stopped smiling, and then said in a serious tone, "In addition, if I can still persist until the day when I take the initiative to open the seal and counterattack the Void Land, I hope that Black Mist The Legion can get involved, too.”

"The old guy must hold on until then!"

"Don't worry, you won't die!"

"..."

"..."

In a small world full of yellow sand, Kalya and Aatrox chatted for a long time.

However, their chat did not involve much about the next actions and plans of both parties. It seemed to be just greetings and greetings after meeting old friends.

It wasn't until Kalya felt that Aatrox's consciousness had fully recovered and that his own little world couldn't hold on any longer, that he gave his student a kick with a smile and kicked him out of his own little world.

The wind blew again, enveloping the yellow sand and sealing away the three-eyed crow who was trying to fish in troubled waters. After completing all this, Kalya lay on his back on the sand dune, quietly staring at the starless sky in the small world.

"I'm getting old." He laughed at himself in a low voice, "Even a brainless little brat like Aatrox has grown up. It seems that I have to hurry up too!"

Kalya's Little Classroom Aatrox who is partial to science:

Shurima's Ascended Ones tend to have their own merits, but even among the grotesque Ascended Ones, Aatrox is an anomaly—simply put, he has no brains.

However, due to his extraordinary talents and amazing combat power, even though Aatrox is brainless, arrogant, bad-mouthed, and extremely irritable, he still manages to do well in Shurima.
